I am pleased to say that the writing team of Martha Williamson and Brandi Harkonen are back on track after the previous episode, which resolved Oliver's estranged marriage.
They have managed to put the series back on track as they revert to the tried and true structure. The main story is that of the lost letter, with the postables lives taking second place. In this movie, the lost letter comes from a military officer stationed in Afghanistan. The letter is to her daughter...
The story does a very good job of telling a story of loss, hope, and heartbreaking truth. Back on the home front, we learn more about Oliver and his past as his father comes home to visit with some shocking and groundbreaking news. It also seems that Oliver's wife is not the only family member he's estranged from. There's so much going on in this episode that it should keep you entertained.
The direction is up to par with the previous episodes as Kevin Fair is still in the Directors chair and the resident cast is consistently good and builds their characters and ongoing relationships well. The extra cast of Gregory Harrison as Oliver's Father, Joe O'Toole; Megan Charpentier as Phoebe Amidon, and William B Davis as Harper, Pheobe's Grandfather; are very good in their roles, especially Charpentier.
If you've watched the previous episodes of the movies and series then you should like this one, though if you're not familiar with Signed Sealed Delivered then I would recommend watching from the start as it's the best way to relate to the characters... and it's worth it.
